WELCOME TO PERRIAM & PARTNERS
The first thing you need to know about us is that we are really good at our job, the second is that this website is updated weekly, yes weekly, and the third, it's the very reason why we come to work "passion, purpose and profit".
Perriams' success is built on forging personal relationships with our clients. Simply put, the more we invest in understanding you, your family and your business, the more valuable the insight we can offer.
When a website doesn't include "last updated" on it's content, it begs the question "did it happen today, yesterday or 10 years ago?!" Well Perriam & Partners is about today and tomorrow.
PERRIAMS' POWER RANKINGS - 19 MAY 2025
Each week we announce Perriams’ “Game Changers” for the week.
1. Ryan Fox — a birdie on the 17th hole and 3 tied at minus 15 on the 18th, and who came out on top?!
2. Auckland AFC — a win or a draw against Melbourne this Saturday, and they are into the A-League football final – how good!
3. Moana Pasifika’s win over the Blues on Saturday — their first ever win against the Blues and has to be their best win ever.
Note: Perriams’ Power Rankings this week are all about sport — and why shouldn’t it be? Wasn’t sport over the weekend a menu of first-class sport? Stupendous!
THE PACESETTER - 19 MAY 2025
SPOTLIGHT
All eyes will be on the government’s budget announcements this Thursday, but what’s going to be in it for you, and how will this impact on how you might feel on Friday?
SPORTIFY
Has anybody ever made more of a difference to a NZ rugby team in any shape or form than Ardie Savea? Whilst no one can ever say it’s a one-man team, Ardie alone has changed the fortunes of Moana Pasifika.
OPINION
The retail price of ground coffee is up 12% in the past month. Milk is up 15% over the last year. Is our favourite takeaway coffee in fear of yet another rise? You bet—and why not? Don’t we want to see all our cafes making $$$?!
GEM OF THE WEEK
Ryan Fox in the PGA Championship.
OF INTEREST
The latest food price data from Stats NZ shows butter prices are up 65% in the past year. Now, whilst that’s been great for your dairy farmers, doesn’t this price increase affect pretty much every household in NZ? But it shouldn’t! Let’s remove the GST on our staple products—starting with butter.
THE MARKETS
With the new and latest US tariff policies about to add another layer of uncertainty to the price of all globally traded goods, there are going to be winners and losers. We are now likely to see high demand for dairy out of China, and high demand for beef out of the US.
